Detailed Information for Bent Tree Apartments

Exercise extreme caution when considering properties listed by the horrible company “AIR Communities” on rental platforms. While their promotional visuals might appear enticing, prospective tenants should be forewarned of a multitude of hidden fees. Beyond the baseline rent, there are significant charges for amenities such as parking, water, and mail services, which often require an additional subscription. The following are crucial observations derived from reviews by past tenants across multiple platforms. It is imperative that you review these insights meticulously to avoid potential regrettable experiences.

Here is 10 reasons why you SHOULD NOT! consider moving into Bent Tree Apartments:

  1. Overpriced Rent and Hidden Fees: The rent and additional fees, including those for pets, are considered to be very high, with some residents feeling as though they are being financially exploited.
  2. Poor Noise Insulation: Some reviewers complained that they could hear their neighbors walking or showering, indicating issues with noise insulation.
  3. Unmaintained Common Areas: There are still mentions of common areas like the gym being old, dirty, and dusty.
  4. Parking Issues: Parking continues to be a significant concern, with residents mentioning high fees for assigned spots that are often far away from their apartments, and the risk of cars being towed even when parked correctly.
  5. Unresponsive and Unprofessional Management: Management is frequently described as unresponsive, unprofessional, and primarily focused on extracting fees rather than addressing residents’ concerns.
  6. Poor Quality of Apartments: Some residents describe the apartments as cheaply renovated or poorly maintained, with mentions of issues like ant infestations, uneven floors, disconnected burners, and concealed damages that become apparent over time.
  7. Inadequate Communication: Communication from management is described as inconsistent, delayed, or entirely absent, leading to confusion and frustration.
  8. Misleading Fees: Some reviews mention being overcharged or charged unexpected fees, with recommendations to carefully read the lease and keep all communication proofs.
  9. Cleanliness Issues: Several reviewers describe the complex as dirty and mention encountering various pests.
  10. Safety Concerns: A few reviewers expressed concerns about having to walk back to their apartments in the dark due to distant parking spots.

It’s essential to keep these points in mind and possibly look for other rental options that provide not just a decent apartment but also a pleasant overall living experience.

Some staff are friendly, maintenance staff don't seem to care, good location. The apartment buildings are a very old, and something breaks on a weekly basis.

The first day I moved in, the apartment had not been properly prepared. After being unable to move my belongings in on the first day, the maintenance crew (which is the worst maintenance crew I've ever dealt with) didn't properly replace essential objects in the apartment, and left the floors absolutely disgusting. Then after coming home with groceries, I found out the apartment is infested with bugs, and that pest control had never been to the apartment. After talking to management they said a pest control worker was sent, but I came home to roaches on the invoice itself, and still a massive amount of bugs. To ice the cake, less than a week into moving in, the apartment flooded and I wasn't able to get "24 hour emergency maintenance" to my place for an hour. Then the worker was unable to speak enough English to instruct me on where to go for the night, and the receptionist also had no idea what to do. This complex is a nightmare.

I moved out months and months ago. I was curious to see if the apartments reviews were going to continue to go down.... as I KNEW THE REVIEWS WOULD. Shockingly, I saw a bunch of 5 star reviews. Then, I saw who were writing the reviews. If you look at the actual people writing positive reviews, you can see that they all work for Bent Tree in some form. Whether it be landscaping people or contracted people in the rental property industry. THAT IS NOT HOW YELP IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! These people writing positive reviews are extremely biased.... and probably ARE NOT RESIDENTS! I hope Bent Tree isn't paying them extra or pressuring them to write false reviews. Obviously, it is one of the two.

I will be writing series of reviews regarding bent tree apartment. we lived for total of 3 years in 2 different units. On the 2nd unit, we lived for less than 24 month and we were charged for 30+ months worth of carpet damge, appx $17 per month based on their calculation. Staff/manager was very reluctant to explain/discuss the matter but to present you with "INVOICE/BILL". We were present on the final walk through and inspecton day and no such claim was mentioned. Existing carpet when our rent started was NOT new so it probably was in a condition to replace from normal wear and tear. I didn't have to pay for the carpet on the previous unit that we lived in, but had to pay for the 2nd one regardless. I BELIEVE MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED SINCE THEN. As those of you who read not just my review but others below, you can conclude that last tenant who stay in the unit will have to pay for the carpet REGARDLESS. All apartments and rental units have pros and cons. it just really sucks when they get you at the end just because you are leaving. Hope this review helps some of you. I will write more later. Thanks for reading.

Cheap for a reason. 1. They'll provide you an ant infested apartment that their maintenance team can't get rid of. 2. There is no adequate parking. Good luck finding a spot after 5PM. Most of the time I had to park really far away and walk back to the apartment in the dark. If you want a designated parking spot, it's an additional $50 AND there's not guarantee it will be close to your apartment "due to lack of availability" 3. Overcharged our rent by an ADDITIONAL $2000 because they did not look at the contract we signed. Proceeded to quote "market value" until we asked them to check their emails with us where they guaranteed us a certain price for our apartment. So if you ever end up picking this place, KEEP ALL PROOF OF COMMUNICATION. NOW FOR THE BIGGEST AND MOST INFURIATING EXPERIENCE 5. When we moved out, they billed us $2000 for "damages" and cleaning. We literally had the apartment cleaned. We left the apartment in great condition, no mess on the walls or floors, all appliances in working condition, etc. They never performed a final walkthrough with us because their office was closed and they wouldn't let us turn in the keys when they were actually open. So for "proof" of damages all they sent was the bill, a "final walkthrough form" that they signed with no signature from us, and FAKE PICTURES of a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT apartment. Not even the same flooring or same wall paint. Literallty a different apartment. Through MANY phone calls and repeatedly asking for solid proof, they finally dismissed the fees. BEFORE YOU CHECK OUT of your apartment take as many pictures and videos as you can of your apartment and its condition or else you will be out $2K.

Its been 2 month since I moved in and my experience here has been horrible. I am getting hit with hidden fees like crazy. --You have to pay for their delivery service to the locker (one time fee) which they still deliver it in front of your door--The gym is being renovated but you have to pay for that service (not even prorated) even when you can't use it.--Electric service pay separately to Virginia Electric however... you get hit with the prorated service for the day you didn't set up an account of $50 one time service fee on top of that $5.25/month service fee for god knows what.Below is some of the charges from the statement (copied and pasted)--Vacant Service Fee 06/04/2019 - 06/11/2019 $50.00--Service Fee Conservice is a service provider contracted to prepare monthly statements and provide conservation resources. $5.25--Acct. Setup This is a one-time fee to setup your Conservice account. $10.00--Energy Conservation Fee 06/04/2019 - 06/06/2019 $2.00 (not even sure what this is and this is monthly or in the future going to be higher)PLUS$15/month per car for parking (not enough parking spaces...good luck)$50 for locker delivery service (they still deliver to door)$14.33 for insurance (if you get it through Bent Tree)PLUSWater Base ChargePest ControlSewerSewer Base (different from Sewer charge)TrashWater (difference from water base charge)I am not saying all the charges are not reasonable however, the hidden fee and one time fees are ridiculous.I currently pay $1500 base rent $30 for 2 cars $14.33 for insurance = $1544.33+electric+all those other fees will run you about $1750 minus the one time fees for everything.BEWARE!!!!

This is the absolute worst place to live. Bent Tree is run by awful people. We were one of the apartments in the fire there recently. Everything was destroyed except our bedroom. They didn't let us into our apartment until over a month later and then only finally found us a way in so they could continue with their construction. To get us into our apartment they knocked down a wall ruining the majority of items in the only room that wasn't destroyed by fire. We also found out that people had been stealing things from our apartment in the time that they wouldn't let us in. They blew us off about these issues. Even before the fire they were horrible. They knocked down our smoke alarm while in our apartment working on something. When we told them it was broken they said they would be right on while completely dismissing us never being fixed. These are small overpriced apartments run by lazy people who do not care about their tenants needs. They treated us terribly during an already difficult time.Sonia who we have primarily dealt with is the absolute worst and has not helped us in any way and I am certain I will never hear back from her about the insurance claim from them letting people steal our stuff instead of letting us in sooner.

This is absolutely the worst apartment complex I have ever dealt with my entire life. My son was staying there and had to leave Virginia and move back to Florida because he lost his job due to Covid. They want to charge him $7200 to break his lease. $3600 for the loss of the rent and another $3100 because he did not give them a 90 day written notice. How could he do that if he lost his job and couldn't afford to live there?!?! We are willing to pay the $3600 but I refuse to pay the $3100. But what drives me crazy is when he was living there. The apartment manager (who is horrible and impossible to get ahold of) and complex did not help him out even a little bit on his rent when the upstair unit had a water leak that leaked thru his ceiling causing his cloths to get all wet. All they did was went into his unit and taped plastic bags on his ceilings that stayed up there for a couple weeks!!!! But I guess that not the apartment complex's fault?!?! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND not renting unit here!!!!!!!!

Overpriced as hell for its quality. Floors are uneven. Charging ports are cheap and loose and will pop out so bugs can just crawl in through the hole. 1600 for a one bedroom. Horrible sewage system. Do not rent here.

So unprofessional people/staffs, worst after management changed, they are not sure about what they are doing, if you need to meet the staffs regarding anything makeup your mind to separate couple of hours for even a small stuff, experienced a lot of times. Weird staffs, really upset.

Did a tour of the property, liked what I saw, applied right on the spot. Unlike EVERY place I toured, to apply I had to pay a $500 deposit with a $50 application fee. No exaggeration, I was turned down within 2 mins! They instantly took those funds out of my acct. One week later and I still do not have my $500 back. Aimco management company conveniently does not have the info on their website on how to contact them. I just found a post where someone went thru the same thing last year. HOW DO YOU TAKE MONEY INSTANTLY, REJECT THEM AND THEN NOT REFUND THE REFUNDABLE MONEY??? DO NOT APPLY UNLESS YOU HAVE $500 TO THROW AWAY!!!!

Parking here is a HUGE problem. I've lived here nearly 6 months and every time I get home after 9 pm I have to drive to the other side of the apartment complex to park (a 15 minute walk to my building). If I arrive after midnight I have to pray that someone is leaving because I have literally not found parking multiple times (to the point that I literally go home, PARK, then UBER places cause finding parking is so insanely frustrating after a long shift - I work two jobs a 9-5 job and as a bartender). Maintenance is also a huge problem. My heater broke in December and I put in a ticket and went to the office (because otherwise it would have taken weeks for them to come out, and frankly I am not keen on letting my apartment stay at the 20 degrees Fahrenheit my thermometer was reading). The first maintanence team told me that the heating system was broken and they couldn't replace the entire thing (as itll be too expensive and they'd need administrative permission) after imploring them to fix it they explained they didn't think they'd be allowed to but they left to ask. After a couple hours a second team came back and closed all the vents forcing the little heat in the system into my bedroom and told me 'they were done and fixed the problem'. Obviously this isn't a fix, the first team came back after the second left and explained they weren't allowed to replace the system because itll take too long and itll be expensive. Luckily this winter wasn't terrible, but to this day my heating system is pretty wonky and I have to blast it to have a decent temperature in my apartment (electric bill due to this went from 80/mo it was in November to 200/mo just to get my apartment at a constant 67 degrees). Some maintenance workers try really hard to fix problems (notably Percy and Miguel) but others seem to have given up at this point and don't really care, so be wary. The grounds are pretty dirty due to their lack of trash containers, and their "valet trash collection service" that is mandatory sucks. You also will constantly get spammed by random newsletters and I assume companies that have a partnership with Bent Tree. I suspect that pests will become a problem once spring warms up more. My apartment is very clean (I clean-mop-sweep everyday) but when I was sweeping my floor yesterday I noticed three ants scampering around as well as a beetle. Though this is the first and only times I've seen pests inside the apartment, I assume that the fact a beetle was able to make it in when I keep the apartment locked down and clean constantly (never open windows or doors unless I am walking in and out) shows that pests will begin to be a problem. As noted by someone else Bent Tree does has numerous fees and honestly if they can get away with charging you more I wouldn't be surprised. The apartments though cheap are poorly made (I used to be a home remodeler and I noted that my 'hard wood floors' were already peeling after being installed 'a month before I moved in' and that the double windows are ancient and poorly installed). When my neighbors upstairs were moving in the ceiling shook and I had a lot of white dust and paint on my furniture which I had to clean up. Honestly I wouldn't recommend anyone to live here unless they are on a budget and can put up with all of this. I will probably be moving out as soon as my lease terminates because frankly I would rather commute from Sterling to my jobs in Chantilly than to put up with this place again.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of living at Bent Tree, and I must say that it was an absolute nightmare. I cannot stress enough how much I would advise against signing a lease with this establishment. First and foremost, cars in the community have been being broken into on a regular basis. The lack of adequate security measures is evident, leaving residents feeling unsafe and vulnerable. It is deeply concerning that the management has not taken sufficient action to address this ongoing problem. Furthermore, the removal of community amenities, such as the car wash area, only added to the disappointment. These amenities were likely key selling points for many prospective tenants, and their removal without any alternative was a significant letdown. It reflects poorly on the management's commitment to providing a comfortable living environment. In addition, assigned parking spots were a complete mess. They were unorganized and often located far away from residents' actual apartment units. This inconvenience alone would be frustrating, but coupled with the lack of attention to detail, it became clear that the management prioritized revenue over resident satisfaction. Charging fees for package delivery is an unnecessary and unreasonable practice that showcases their profit-driven approach. The maintenance staff is equally disappointing. They take an exorbitant amount of time to address maintenance requests, and even then, the quality of their work was subpar. It was disheartening to witness them casually strolling around on golf carts, seemingly uninterested in their responsibilities. Visitor parking is also an absolute nightmare. If you have more than two cars registered, you were forced to park in the visitor parking area, despite paying a parking fee. This resulted in a severe shortage of parking spaces for actual visitors. Finding parking after 12 pm is nearly impossible, leaving residents and their guests frustrated and inconvenienced. In conclusion, Bent Tree Apartments is without a doubt the worst complex I have ever had the misfortune of residing in. The constant break-ins, removal of amenities, disorganized parking system, excessive fees, and careless attitude of the management and maintenance staff all contribute to an unacceptable living experience. I strongly advise anyone considering these apartments to explore other options. Save yourself the headache and find a community that values its residents' well-being and satisfaction.

A great place to live if you have no friends, no car, don't get any mail and don't mind when everything breaks. If you have no friends, you won't have to be concerned that there is very limited guest parking. If you're thinking it's cool because your friends exclusively travel by Uber/Lyft make sure they also aren't smokers, because the community is going "smoke free" including parking lots, your balcony, etc. The wait time to go grab whatever you had prime shipped to you is at least 45 minutes. If you go to the store to buy stuff like some commoner and God forbid, have an actual question you want answered - just forget it. You'll get a more efficient answer from a Magic 8 Ball. You could try calling or emailing, but I have yet to get responses that way. I'm going to try a carrier pigeon next. I will say the maintenance staff has a couple cool dudes working for them. Of course, I see them the most has something is always broken.

EDIT: In response to management's reply. None of the tacked-on fees were disclosed to me during my move-in process. I discovered them long after I had signed my lease. I sent numerous emails to the leasing office that went unanswered before I finally contacted upper management in AIR communities. It was only then I received a phone call. I never returned the call because I had already made up my mind to move out based on how poorly the parking situation was handled as a whole. I have since left Bent Tree and cannot be happier with the decision to move. Do not move here. Listen to all the bad reviews. Find a community where you are valued and respected as a resident. Save yourself a headache and move elsewhere. Parking is a mess to put it mildly. All apartment units are assigned two parking spaces. If you pay for a third or fourth vehicle to be parked in the community you have to park it in Guest Parking. There are 35 marked guest parking spaces in three different locations throughout the community. These spaces are always full. Forget ever having guests over since these are filled with residents who own more than two vehicles. Management told residents to call the towing company if someone has parked in your reserved space. When residents called the towing company we were told towing was not being enforced in the community yet. This has lead to residents placing cones, tables and chairs in their assigned spots. One vehicle misplaced causes a domino affect as there is no longer ANY open spaces. They got rid of the car wash area to allow more parking but the issue continued. So we ended up with no cad wash and nowhere to park. In addition to the parking, you get to pay $60 a year just to have a package locker. If you don't pick up a package after two days you are charged $10 per day until you pick it up. There are frequent vehicle break-ins in this area but residents aren't allowed to equip their homes with Ring security door bells. This is a lease violation according to management. Upon move our you are required to pay a $125 cleaning fee or proof of a hired professional cleaning service. Management is largely unresponsive to phone calls and emails. Plan to go in person to the office if you need to speak to someone. There are much better places to live for a lower price. Avoid Bent Tree!

During my time at Bent Tree the quality of life has gone down significantly. 1st - The parking situation currently is a disaster. All but a couple dozen spots are assigned parking. This parking might not be anywhere near your apartment and is a separate fee. The little visitor parking that exists is functionally non-existant since it's always full with residents cars. You will not be able to have anyone visit without risking their being towed. 2nd - The removal of several amenities to make room for additional parking. 3rd - A lack of enforcement of the non-smoking policies. These policies are not effectively enforced and people openly smoke on their balconies and parking lots. 4th - Their "newly renovated apartments" had many, many issues with the installation of doors, windows, and appliances incorrectly or sloppily. While maintenance did correct these issues they clearly went with a bottom of the barrel contractor for these renovations and did little to no follow up to make sure things were done properly. Do not rent here, it is not as advertised.

I used to like living here. Everything has changed in the last year or so. Parking sucks and they still charge us monthly for it. There are at least half of the reserved spots not being used. They built a second dog park instead of fixing the basketball court which is across the street and barely anybody knows about. I've had issues with maintenance not showing up for days at a time. Our stairs and walking areas are almost always dirty. We have had communication problems as well. The phone is never answered and emails are responded to days later. Not the way someone wants to treated if they're paying rent to live somewhere. Old management was way better.

BEEN a loyal person of this community since 2015. All I'm going to say is a lot of residents have been upset with the money hungry people running this company. Parking has been absolutely outrageous. They charge extra just to assign you a spot far away from your building. Not only that but their management team is unprofessional as they do not know what they're doing or aren't responsive to any issues throughout the community. If you are a resident who wants to be getting robbed you should probably think about living here unless you're smart, find somewhere else.

They are not taking responsible about residents living in their properties. Anything happens to your unit forget about talking to them. Call insurance and ready to hear the insurance is not covering any damages. Assistant manager, Bee? or Vee? girl with a curly hair, she is worst ever I dealt for customer service. I have no idea how she climbed up to be an assistant manager. Worst beyond worst to talk to. Oh~~ good luck finding a parking spot after 10pm even with paid parking permit.

If Hellish customer service is what you're looking for then look no further! My overall experience at Bent Tree was full of mislead information, and also a 3 month late notice that the carpet had to be replaced once we moved out. The carpet was a year old and looked perfectly fine, however they felt the need to scam us out for more money. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else, this place is the taint of apartments in Centerville, Va.

In my 3 months being here I got towed three times and not a single one was my fault and instead of paying for it they made me pay out of pocket and they just reduced the amount from my rent so if I had no money to cover it my car would be sitting with no fault of my own and now they cut off my electricity, again to no fault of my own and we lost about $500 in food and milk that was breast milk that was pumped and have had no power for three days and renters insurance here does not want to cover it and again to no fault of my own and we still don't have electricity and don't know when it will be turned on and all the leasing office has said is I'm sorry I know that sucks. I would give 0 stars if possible parking sucks 90% of times my visitors have to park across the street my spot is far from my apartment and they add so many charges they don't talk about I'm the beginning suck at giving mail keys the only good thing here is the maintenance team which I imagine is from the amount of practice they get again I do not recommend this place I'm the slightest.

New change of management companies = terrible service. Moved out about a month about to Bell Fair Oaks - much better service. Both my boyfriend and myself had tried via e-mail and phone to contact them 7 times over the past two weeks regarding the move-out inspection follow-up without any response at all. The management company before had their faults, but was at least responsive. The previous maintenance team even came out after hours to address issues for us. This new company could care less if your unit was on fire. For the price you pay for be in Centreville for God's sake, you think they'd give a damn about their residents.

if I could have less than a star I will give it this horrible apartment complex. Since Lincoln property sold to the new owners this has become so horrible and unsafe place I will not recommend it to anyone. Now a lot of drunk people live in the complex and they don't respect the piece of the other tenants They stay after 1 in the morning drinking in the balconiess and playing music very laugh and some of us have to work early in the morning and we need to rest They also are leaving the dog without leash and one of the dog bite my brother I am glad it was not a child I can't imagine the damage that he could to a child. The new staff in the offices not doing anything about those incidents or to solve the problems. We send them an email because they have been doing some construction work in the complex and they scratch our new car that we get from the dealer not too long ago GUESS WHAT THEY HAVE NOT ANSWER TO THE EMAIL NOT EVEN TO BE RESPECTFUL. Another issue in the complex is that now if you came after 9 pm you will not find a parking space. You have to go and park far away in the street IMAGEN IF YOU ARE A WOMEN AND YOU GET OFF FROM WORK AT 11PM AND YOU HAVE TO WALK IN THE STREET BY YOURSELF SOMETHING DANGER CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. Also the personal in the leasing office are very slow and rude if you can to pick a package you have to way a lot of time and they always make a face to give you the package its like if you are living in the complex free and they are not getting pay from the rent that you are paying. I live here for more than 3 years when LINCOLN PROPERTY HAVE THE COMPLEX AND I DID NOT COMPLAINT. I WAS VERY HAPPY TO BE PART OF THIS COMMUNITY. NOW I just want my lease to finish and move from this very unsafe apartment complex.

It's like living in the middle of a construction zone in DC. I'm a full time college student and studying here during the day since the new management took over is nearly impossible. I have to leave my apartment and study at the library down the street to get anything done. I feel sorry for anyone who works night shift living here!! But it's okay, we will be moving out next month!

DO NOT MOVE HERE THEY MISREPRESENT AND IT IS A MONEY GRAB PLACE FEES FOR EVERYTHING MOVING IN AND OUT THE WORST PLACE YOU COULD MOVE INTO VERY DISHONEST AND DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR RESIDENTS. HORRIBLE PLACE TO LIVE IN Actually this is a NO star 0 place to live in things do not get fixed in a timely manner. Parking has been restructured with no advance notification of which whoever came up with this brilliant stupid plan clearly did not do their research assigning parking spaces on the other side of the apartment complex not providing spaces in front of your residential home and still expect people to pay for assigned parking spaces that is far from your building as well as paying to park at a visitors spot but if there are no more guest spaces available you have to park outside of the development complex and risk your car from getting towed or damaged just so wrong anyway you look at this. DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!!!! This does not warrant not even 1 star. Do not move here! Management is awful and they do not care about their tenants because we are just a business to them. this apartment complex is a money grab for everything. Parking is a disaster you can not park in front of your building they put you 2 blocks away and there are fees for assigned 2 block parking so wrong. The maintenance are clueless and have no skills look at this caulking job to say the least just awful. Moving here is not worth the headache.

Stay away from this apartment complex! I was treated wonderfully when viewing the apartments, however after not being able to move forward I was informed that the refund process ($600) would begin and I would be refunded in the next 48-72 hours. It has been almost 2 weeks! After I realized earlier this week that my money had not been refunded, my friend checked our application status online, and it was still showing In review. After calling the office I was very rudely spoken to and the woman seemed baffled as to why I was online checking the status, of course because I had not received my money! She then informed me that the process had not even been started and that i would have to wait another 48-72 hours. Unacceptable!I have even contacted corporate and will make every effort to make this situation known, and I will also be contacting my bank to have every dime returned. Stay AWAY.

Not a good place for people to live unless you're not going to be getting involved with office people. They were not too knowledged on what they were doing. For a simple question we had, we had to sit in the office for an hour. The conversation was not going anywhere because the lady that was taking care of us had to constantly move back and forth and was not nice at all. I read all the reviews before and they all mention something about rude staff members which I totally understand since I experienced it myself. I really wouldn't recommend this place to anyone around me. Only thing I like about this place is the location. Hate the staff's rudeness, hate how loud it is to live, and the parking situation is just don't even get me started. They're even charging the current residents more to get the parking ticket after they changed the whole parking ticket situation.

(Sorry this is lengthy) I am a fairly new resident I moved in march 1 of last year(2022). My lease ends June 5 and fortunately, I will not be renting with this community after my lease ends. First bad experience I had, before I moved in. I obviously had a normal tour where I was asked if I had a dog or plan on getting a dog I said no because that was my honest answer but living on the East Coast by myself, I needed a companion, so I did end up getting a dog, a German Shepherd. when I went in to register him, that is when I noticed that they had restricted dog breeds (as when I did the tour she did NOT tell me that they had restricted breeds and to keep that in mind if I ever did want to get one) and I had already registered him as an emotional support animal which he is and let me tell you this process took close to two months to get approval, a very unnecessary amount of time. after I was working with the then manager, who has now been promoted, she told me that the female who took me on a tour told me they were restricted breads after I continuously told her that no one informed me of that, but they made me feel like I was wrong and they're always right. Thankfully after having to go has doctors appointments five times to fill out forms and get doctors notes. I was approved to have my dog with me. my second negative interaction was, yes the electronic door lock. I had gotten a notification on the app that the battery was running out and they did an auto service ticket. I had exchanged emails and text. We agreed on a Tuesday while I was going to be here for them to come and drop off batteries and that Tuesday came and they never stopped by then a few days later I was coming home after work, and my lock was making an ongoing humming noise. Come to find out the battery had died and I was unable to get in my apartment through the front door. I made another ticket in and this time they did come to drop off the batteries, while I was not home and when I did come home, I came to find that the front door was literally cracked open and the batteries look like they just opened the door, threw the batteries in the front walkway, and walked away. They were scattered in my front walkway. It's just overall very disappointing community. You pay fees for trash, but you have to walk your own trash to the dumpster so what is the fee for? Overall, I would not recommend this community at all. If you need a community in the area, lakeside apartments (yes different company too) are literally amazing. No trash fees, they give you trash bins on move in date, open parking with no fees, if you have a service dog or esa, mine got approved in three hours and all they needed was for me to fill out a form and the form I had used here at Bent tree and my pup got approved for my move in date. Would totally recommend lakeside apartments over Bent tree unfortunately.

The past 3 months have been a nightmare. They're renovating all the apartments which is fine but taking way too long for it. The noise starts at 8am Monday through Saturday all day until 7pm. We are exhausted, our animals are scared and changed their behavior and it is just stressful. They came to replace all of our windows and bothered us 3 more times to check if everything was completed- couldn't that have been checked only once? I'm so so happy when our lease is up so we can get the hell out.

If I could give less than 1 star I would. I am very laid back but I would not recommended this apartment complex to anyone! I moved in a year ago because the rent was low. I quickly found out that there were a number of hidden fees that I was not told about, which made paying my rent difficult. There were little things in the beginning that bugged me. My apartment was blowing cold air when the heat was on. I put in 3 service requests and each time the man who came put my heat up to 98 degrees and said it clearly worked fine. Then, they decided it was time for a new gym and leasing office, which, after 5 months is still not up and running, yet were still paying to have a gym which is not built yet. In April, there was a fie in which a man passed away. I have talked to a number of residents that were in that building and said no alarms went off and people actually drove to the local fire department to tell them what was going on. This was concerning to me so I went back to my apartment and realized my smoke detector was from 2001 and was not working. I also had no sprinklers in my apartment and no pull fire alarms in the hallways of my building. I went to Sonia the manager about this. She told me it wasn't that big of a deal and I was overreacting. She informed me that the building is up to code because they are following the code of the year my building was built which was in the 1980's. I asked to get out of my lease and she told me no because although I lived across the street from the big fire it was not my building, therefore I had to wait it out. I then talked to Aimco who also told me there was nothing they could do. I had Sonia and a representative from Aimco come to show me where my pull fire alarms were. I was informed that I had to go down 3 flights of stairs and to the building next door and pull their alarm. Which to me sounded ridiculous! But, no one seemed concerned, only me. In August there was a fire in my building. The alarm was pulled but because my specific "breezeway" did not have a pull fire alarm I had NO IDEA there was a fie until I went to take my dog out and saw 4 fire trucks outside my building, saw the fire hoses, and heard the alarms. Just a heads up, you need to figure out a way to be safe for yourselves if you are living there. You will get ZERO help from anyone in the management. Luckily, I have moved to a much better and much safer apartment that is NOT owned by Aimco and who actually care about their residents.

I lived in the first floor and it was a struggle every night to get sleep. The floor above us is EXTREMELY CREAKY and the upstairs neighbor moves ALL NIGHT LONG. We hear everything. Not to mention, the people outside are loud at night. I'm honestly shocked to see reviews above two stars. Do not live here...

The new management is worst ever I experienced. There is not enough maintenance staff. Any emergency maintenance, we have to wait for 3-7 days. They don't pick up the phone from tenants and also do not reply the phone. Office staff do not keep the record properly too. Last month, they misplaced the check (rent) and sent another letter with late fee. When we went there and asked about the situation, they said, "you gave me the check but I did not accept, so you have to pay rent but we could discount the late fee." What the reason, they did not accept that specific check and discount the late fee? But accepted all other checks. There is no CCTV camera and receipt for proof. I highly recommend them to set up CCTV camera. On 05/08/2018, there was baby shower at my apartment, I asked the visitor parking for my relatives but they denied to provide visitor parking, so my guest unable to participate in baby shower. Office manager (Sonia Anzar) was so rude and treated me as animal (pet) like animal does not have friends and relatives.

You're done being treated like "family" as soon as you sign your lease. The leasing office is severely understaffed, they never answer their phones when you call, and when they do they hang up on you. My partner slid on a water heater cover and fell in when it was raining. We told management, they did nothing but ask if he was fine! What if it were a kid? Worst attitudes ever from leasing agents, as if your problems are your own fault. QUICK to bill you for leaving anything outside your front door. Take your money ANYWHERE else. This is their job, they don't care that it affects your livelihood.You pay for parking, but they will tow you no matter what! But once they tow you the leasing office cannot help you, even though you had your paid parking pass on the top right of your windshield. Sounds great right? Their package delivery system is a joke. You pay $50 annually for a locker system, and they don't even notify you when your package was delivered. You have to go into the LuxerOne app and talk to their customer service. Leasing office will tell you there's nothing they can do. I had my package stolen recently, the leasing office asked if I had called the police already (sounded like sarcasm). It was a $4 package, I don't need the police, I need the protection and surveillance I was promised when I bought a locker space. Truly counting down the days until I leave this disgusting establishment. The manager's name is Sonia, and she is far from a decent manager. The property manager's name is Andrea, and she's even worse. Need a maintenance request? By your third submission, they should be on the way. Maintenance men are no issue, in fact very thorough and quick, perhaps the nicest thing about this place.Leasing office is truly ran by grown women who act like high-schoolers. God forbid you're passionate and upset about your problem, they'll pretend they never received your voicemail. But once you go into the leasing office physically they act like that had never happened. AVOID this community like the plague. I'm counting down the days until I get to leave this horrible place.

This location doesn't deserve even one star. It became impossible to live in this apartment complex. First year was a very good to live here, but the second year is horrible. I decided to write this review because I don't see any resolution about the issue I adressed to Aimco leasing office since summer. The life become horrible after a neighbor moved in with a dog which is constantly barking untill noon every night. I addressed this issue to the leasing office, I don't observe any improvements, it looks that they are ignoring me, they just want to make money, but they don't care about people living in here. A big disaster is with the parking. They made a lot of reserved parking lots to drag more money out of the people living here and if you come after 10 in the night you barely find a space to park. Also they are charging for the mail packages, before this was free. I am very disappointed about this place. I am counting down the days to get out of this community. The worse place I ever lived.

Literally The worst place to rent at. Will change parking rules without knowledge of renters. Will have tow trucks outside waiting of guest parking to meet quotas. If you want a community based area to live in do not live here. Will not be renewing my lease at all. Thief's and crooks all around!

Actually Bent Tree Apartment looks great when you see it from outside. but the service is too bad. and the maintenance team they do not care. and I have very bad experience started from the first day I moved in. the apartment was very dirty and need a lot of maintenance. reported and they fix some of what we told them after many weeks. and I had to call them and run to the office many times. and I had to take pictures to show them and to have them sign and date on the pictures. and all that just to try to push them to do their work. Complained about the electricity bill which comes over $240 every month while the normal average up to $120 they told us to contact Dominion VA power first. but there was nothing wrong with Dominion. then I had to report it again with their office and now I have been waiting over two weeks for their response and to send their maintenance team. They tell you that their policy to fix whatever in your apartment within 48 hours from the time you report the issue. Do not believe that because they take weeks. The windows are too old and has too many problems. if you ask them to replace just a light bulb in your apartment, it takes days to be replaced. They tell you that their policy to fix whatever in your apartment within 48 hours from the time you report the issue. Do not believe that because they take weeks. and they have very poor customer service

Overall: not great, poorly managed, fire hazardThere was recently a major fire here resulting in 13 units being uninhabitable and 1 death. The cause has not yet been determined/announced. Not all smoke detectors in the units were working, there are no sprinklers, and there is not a fire alarm to pull in every building. The management company has stated that they have no plans to update for fire safety. I no longer feel safe living here. Look into this before moving here!The community is in a convenient location in Centreville close to a lot of restaurants and not too far from the metro. The neighborhood is seemingly safe, quiet and always looks nice with good landscaping. Since they are doing renovations, most amenities have been closed (gym, pool, and business center). The new package lockers are very convenient though. Unfortunately valet trash pickup has been discontinued and the on site dumpsters are always overflowing. Also parking is hectic in the evening and for guests (they are quick to tow!). The apartments themselves are nice enough but nothing special. They do have a lot of different floor plan options. Unfortunately you can easily hear outside noises and they are not well insulated. A big red flag is that there are no sprinklers in the units! I've called Bent Tree home for a few years but am ready to move on and upgrade.

Lived here for five months and I would not recommend it to anyone. The place is not safe at all, someone stole my bike from the deck, my packages are lost all the time and Luxer One charge me $10 storage fee (if I don't pick up my package in 24 hours) they send me code and when I go there the locker is empty. Parking is a nightmare you can find your car totally empty in the morning (stole tires and other parts) even when they charge $20 a month for parking. After reporting to the office manager you will feel like waste of you time, management won't do anything. There is a bogus fee for paying your rent with a card. In the apartment itself, paint chips from the walls and the bathtubs and troilite is very old. Blinds break easily or straight up fall down, and you will see dog poop everywhere.

We've waited 15 months to finally write this -To start, there is an ample of fees you pay before move in so please read your lease carefully. -Be mindful that the pet fee at move in is not a pet deposit so you do not get that returned to you. -The office is impossible to reach unless you physically go in to see them. -The apartment itself is very nice initially. But through time you can see the damages that we're covered up and the first floor will have ants, spiders, and all sorts of other creatures crawling through. -our ceiling was falling apart and had massive water damage the first week we moved in but the office was closed Sunday and Monday so we had to call maintenance emergency. It still took a day or 2 for them to come out and fix it -They do not respond to you if it is a concern you have in regards to the them. -the best part about this complex was the location and the maintenance team. The list goes on but just save your time and money.

I'm beyond livid with this apartment complex, especially Bryce Whiley. The apartment might be bearable, but Bryce's deceit has transformed my living experience into an absolute horror story. Let's dive into the parking nightmare Bryce created. From the get-go, Bryce spun a web of lies about assigned parking spaces. It's been a never-ending month of circling like vultures, desperately searching for a parking spot. Bryce's pledges to sort out this catastrophe have been nothing more than a string of empty promises. And the absurdity of the "guest parking spots" saga? Brace yourself - those spots aren't for guests at all, but rented out to who-knows-who, conveniently skipped over during our initial discussion. To paint a clearer picture of this parking chaos, let me emphasize that we were guaranteed two parking spots before signing the lease. The cruel reality? Not even a single spot has been delivered! It's an absolute parking pandemonium, and Bryce's reassurances are as hollow as a ghost town. Adding insult to injury, surprise fees are like a twisted game of hide and seek. Every visit to the leasing office uncovers a new financial burden that conveniently materialized after the lease agreement. When we attempted to confront Bryce about these issues, he not only interrupted us incessantly but also shamelessly ignored us when we demanded answers. Post-lease signing, Bryce's demeanor transformed from seemingly pleasant to outright disrespectful. It's like he flipped a switch, and now he couldn't care less about our concerns. To any future residents, consider this a red alert: Bryce's promises are a farce, especially when it comes to parking. This place is a parking nightmare, and Bryce is the architect of this twisted parking fantasy. Spare yourself the headache - this complex is not worth the frustration and disappointment it brings.

Scammers!!!! Full paint job. Full clean! Damages and termination fee $7000. I'm glad I took a nice video of my empty, clean apartment when I vacated it for the judge to see. This has to stop, and the three people in the rental office need to be held accountable for the lies they produce just to scam people out of money. Along with that, someone goes out of their way to stage some dirt or something in the refrigerator and other places to say they had to clean.You have to be thinking mighty hard to stage dirt or anything to scam former tenets out of there money.

My family and I have lived here for over 1 year. We enjoy the pool and playground areas. However, I feel the bad points definitely outweigh the good points. Please see below:Pros:-The rent is a lot cheaper than comparable apartment complexes-The location is ideal for shopping, restaurants, and commutingCons:-Aimco staff is rather unresponsive and some of them are quite rude.-Maintenance staff are inexperienced and incapable. Last summer our apartment flooded multiple times despite constant requests to the maintenance team. The cause was the unwillingness to clean the gutters periodically. This caused us to live in a hotel for 3 nights and $500 of damage to our belongings.-New playground equipment is cheap and dangerous. The new playground equipment has only been installed for about 6 months and I have already observed multiple injuries.-I have observed multiple residents smoking on the apartment grounds despite this being against the lease. The apartment staff are not enforcing the rules.-On 4/21/2019 there was a multiple unit fire that killed one resident. This was fire spread quickly to at least three units before it was under control despite being located directly next to a fire station. It is clear that this apartment complex is a fire hazard.https://www.fox5dc.com/amp/news/local-news/deadly-fairfax-county-apartment-fire

THEFT ALERT!! I frequently visit Bent Tree Apartments to see my boyfriend, but a recent incident has left me feeling extremely unsafe. His bike was stolen from his balcony, and we're unsure if it happened while someone was home. This experience has been scary! and it raises serious security concerns. Waiting to see what management will respond to this situation. This incident has deeply shaken our sense of security, as we are uncertain whether it occurred while someone was home or if the thief gained access to the balcony unnoticed. The fact that such a theft could occur within the premises raises serious concerns about the apartment's safety measures.

Bad management. Constantly changing staff. You request maint service, they dont come out for 2 weeks. And they keep sending you email saying it was completed for things you didnt even request. They ask for 60 days notice but they dont even have the paperwork ready with renewal info so you can decide if you want to move or not. People in the leasing office are rude. You tell them, you changed personal information at least 3 times because they don't change anything and yet they still have it wrong.

DO NOT MOVE HERE! When i moved in my apartment had a gnat infestation, was not cleaned, had pee in the toilet, vents painted closed, and floorboards not glued down. For all of this, they offered me $30 in concessions and didn't even send pest control for over a week. Months later I broke my lease once I was able to leave (i would have left earlier if i was able due to the condition) they charged me $5,000 to break my lease even though a new tenet was going to move in 2 weeks after me. So they faced no losses and are still making me pay the fee regardless of my experience at the property. I recommend to move literally anywhere else but save yourself the trouble and DO NOT LIVE HERE. Update: I reached out as suggested in the owners comment below and now haven't heard back in two weeks. I was really hoping to come to a resolution but even the management company has proven unwilling to help. They also changed the comment they originally left which was apologetic to a generic response.

for real, even one star is too much. I wish I was able to use all bad words to describe how awful the new management is.unfortunately, I continued my contract with them and then they started to renew the community.the answer to all the sounds and dirtiness is we try to make comfort. but seriously?! the parking lot is like a jungle if you get first you are the winner. people use their motorcycle as something to hold and reserve their spot. if your neighbor walk in the upper level you definitely will hear that and if the one living in under you, be sure that you will hear the sound of music.and about the people that work in the leasing office, they are intelligently ignoring your request and for the same problem, you should contact them more than 6 times in minimum. I visited the people in the leasing office more than 17 times which nobody can believe that and I ended up that I should call the police for my problem.when you ask for something most of the times you hear these "we don't know" "we will update you" " we will take care of that" but the result is that you should see them again.and the good points are less than the bad points. if the rent is cheap in somehow(that you will be faced by a lot of hidden fees), doesn't mean that you live in peace and comfort. be smarter. don't? be like me :)))

Like majority of what other residents have said prior, Bent Tree apartments is EXTREMELY money hungry, uncommunicative, and lack so much professionalism that we all are ready to LEAVE ASAP. My family and I have only been here for 3 months ... if you are late on rent once 11:58 hit they charge you 100 dollars (not including all the extra fees they charge you )then if your late not even a month on rent they try to evict you ... mind you the only thing they do is email you calling, emailing , texting them is straight pointless no matter what the situation is .. I could say so much more but the other reviews tell it all ! PLEASE DO NOT MOVE HERE (they are nice and very communicative until you move in it's a freaking trap ) forget the 1 star it's a 0 out of 5. Tell your family and friends to tell their family and friends NOT TO MOVE HERE ITS NOT WORTH THE BULL.

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! First and foremost, it is evident that the sole focus of the company is making money and charging fees wherever possible. Instead of fostering a positive living environment, the management seems to prioritize finding new ways to extract additional charges from the residents. Furthermore, so-called "remodeled" apartments are nothing short of disappointing. The management's definition of remodeling appears to be limited to a hasty paint job, with little attention given to actual improvements. The lack of quality and attention to detail in these "remodeled" units is disheartening and misleading, and we're left with subpar living spaces. In addition to these issues, the overall level of organization and professionalism within the company is severely lacking. Communication from management is often inconsistent, delayed, or entirely absent, leading to confusion and frustration among residents. Lastly, newly implemented assigned parking system has been nothing short of a nightmare. It seems as though there was little thought or consideration given to the placement of assigned parking spaces in relation to the corresponding apartment units. Instead of ensuring proximity and convenience for residents, the assigned parking spots are scattered randomly throughout the complex, leaving residents to trek significant distances from their parking space to their apartment unit. This lack of coordination and planning demonstrates a complete disregard for the comfort and convenience of the residents. Save yourself the headache and do not move here.

Previous management company did the parking lot surfaces recently it's just been only 1~2 yrs. I do not understand. This is very inconvenient since there are not many parking space. It's even worse making separate visitor parking spaces also payed premium parking spaces in front of the building. Everything is MONEY!! The new policy is very inconvenient. They should restore the original parking policies. They need to upgrade the inside of the building not outside. It's getting dirty, not clean the stairs at all. I really don't appreciate how they managing this community. It's getting worser and worser I've living here almost 4 yrs. Manage people are not nice whoever working in the office. Even maintain people don't clean after working in my apartment. They even opened window and left. The trashes were sitting there for couple days. I don't recommend this place. I'll move out when my lease ends.

Currently live here now, a new company took over and the staff are rude, liars, and do not care about their residents. Always noisy, never any parking. They added a new policy about parking but still is stupid and useless because they only want your money, so they get you to update to "better parking". Added more charges to our rent. Called them about some issues and they said they'd get back to us, never did. Also said they left messages and I don't have any from them. If I can get voicemail from automated machines, pretty sure I would've gotten their messages. PLEASE SPARE YOURSELVES FROM LIVING AT A TERRIBLE PLACE.

Current resident here, I wouldn't walk I would run away from This place. Regrets on moving in. Advertising no smoking, everyone smokes and it seeps through the air ducts. Wanna park? $60-$120 got a parking space that's damn near a 8 minutes walk! Want friends over? Well people take up and hog guest parking for weeks, not to mention venders park in your spot for hours and you can't get a hold of anyone. They say you can wash your car, oh that's great! NOPE! Spots are hogged by people stealing spots, okay fine surely you can fill a bucket up with water? NOPE handles are all broken nice. Basically only nice thing is the semi renovated apartments that you pay a premium for. Counting the days for this year to up

The parking is horrible! They first charge for it, then you have only a specific spot to park in, you can't even choose. It's always far away from where I live and on top of that the maintenance teams keep parking their trucks in multiple spots and I can't even go inside until I find one and get them to move.

But once I moved in it was a nightmare they don't have parking for the tenant Instead they build only payed parking spaces and there is no street parking I had to beg for devices at my apartment for three months and when I contacted the manager expensing my concerns she was upset about it. The halls are dirty and no one cleans them . The staff is unprofessional and I was getting prank phone calls because I complained and the staff was entering my apartment when I was at work without notice I had a hidden camera I had to move from the constant harassment.

I wanted to switch my unit to same size onther unit because of Mold, water leakage under floor, high hamidity and hamidity smell in my unit.The management team is not able to fix this problem, because they are careless ,unprofessional every day they defruad the residents.Always my children have complain from headach, sore throat and body pain.I bought a dehumidifier to control hamidity it did not work properly because there is water leakage under floor.The Leasing Office offered me extra money or my new income. meanwhile I'm living here for 4 years I don't have late payments or no paynalty.They don't look at my 4 years record. Just they know how to take money from residents' packets. We do not feel safe and happy here, so the best judge is very human's own conscience !

I went into the property to apply for an apartment. The complex requires $50 application fee and an upfront $500 holding fee. After learning this, I alerted the office staff that I no longer wanted to continue the application process because I was not prepared (that day) to pay $500. I was told my quote would still be available for another day and I could apply again. I go home and discovered that I was charged $50 despite me saying I did not have the upfront $500. The application process is two parts, application fee and holding fee. When I told their staff I did not have enough to complete the two step application process --- WHY WAS I CHARGED $50. I emailed the office. No response. I had to go back to the property for an explanation. If I am charged $50, then did you run a background check? I was told they don't know if I was approved or not and would need to check with corporate. WHY WAS I CHARGED IF STAFF IS NOT SURE IF A VERIFICATION EVEN TOOK PLACE? *******DO NOT APPLY FOT THESE APARTMENTS UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR SURE YOU CAN PAY $500 UPFRONT. THEY WILL CHARGE YOU $50 AND NOT EVEN PROVIDE YOU DETAILS ON WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE APPROVED! ******* I called. I emailed. I received no response. It wasn't until I went back (drove an hour from DC) that I got some sort of response. ****IT'S NOT WORTH IT! THE APARTMENTS ARE OLD. LOOK ELSEWHERE!

The worst apartment! During my 2 years living here, I have experienced the worst service. Last year, I felt racial discrimination when they interrupted me while I was speaking, simply because English is not my first language, and made me repeat myself. The apartment staff have no respect for the residents and ignore them. In June, before moving out, my mom went to the office to give final notice. The manager seemed overwhelmed, dealing with many people. Since it was the last day to give final notice, my mom waited, but the manager told her that it was fine to come another day. My mom asked again to confirm, and trusted her word. Now, after moving out, they are charging her a late fee for giving the final notice late. They claim it's because the date she signed the notice was past the deadline. Of course, the signing date would be late since the manager said it was okay to come later. The manager now says she doesn't remember because she meets over 1,000 people a day. My mom trusted her word, but now she has to pay the fee while she acts like she doesn't know. My mom was so frustrated that she asked for a different manager(jerry) but he told her that if my mom don't pay, they will refer the matter to a lawyer. They don't want to be treated unfairly, yet they handle their responsibilities like this? This is the worst customer service and most irresponsible apartment management I've ever encountered. If you plan to live here, keep evidence of everything. Do you want to live in an apartment that discriminates against you and tries to withhold your deposit? That was worst ever.

Beware the early termination fees... out of the 3 years we lived in this complex, we had a rollercoaster of an experience. Good: - Property was nice - Maintenance team was fantastic Bad: - Corporate office is going to try to get as much money as they can out of you. Termination fee costs 3 times what the monthly rent costs. My husband got a job in a different town, so we needed to move. They said it would be difficult to rent the apartment in the off season and wouldn't let us try to find a replacement renter. It took 1 month for them to fill our old apartment and they just get to keep the other 2 months of rent that we paid them. - Office staff has a high level of turnover, therefore most staff in the leasing office is untrained. - Extra amenities (gas grills, fire pits, etc.) rarely work due to misuse and lack of upkeep. Update: I emailed Susan and she just said that she would look into it. As expected, I never heard back from her again even after following up. All of these "I can help" responses on here are just for show.

I don't live here, nor do I plan on renting here. If you're going to overcharge for apartments, make sure to update the whole unit. Not just the light fixtures, floors, and kitchen blacksplash. Location? I've looked at apartments two steps away from Dunn Loring the same price, and the second bathroom wasnt the size of a shoebox. Yea they're under new management. The person we spoke to seemed nice. But I didn't plan on speaking for an hour before actually viewing the apartment, I knew something seemed up when he was speaking so highly of the complex. Sadly the apartment didn't match his words. Thanks but no thanks. I normally don't write reviews, nor did I need to. But I felt like sharing my experience.

You're done being treated like "family" as soon as you sign your lease. The leasing office is severely understaffed, they never answer their phones when you call, and when they do they hang up on you. My partner slid on a water heater cover and fell in when it was raining. We told management, they did nothing but ask if he was fine! What if it were a kid? Worst attitudes ever from leasing agents, as if your problems are your own fault. QUICK to bill you for leaving anything outside your front door. Take your money ANYWHERE else. This is their job, they don't care that it affects your livelihood. You pay for parking, but they will tow you no matter what! But once they tow you the leasing office cannot help you, even though you had your paid parking pass on the top right of your windshield. Sounds great right? Their package delivery system is a joke. You pay $50 annually for a locker system, and they don't even notify you when your package was delivered. You have to go into the LuxerOne app and talk to their customer service. Leasing office will tell you there's nothing they can do. I had my package stolen recently, the leasing office asked if I had called the police already (sounded like sarcasm). It was a $4 package, I don't need the police, I need the protection and surveillance I was promised when I bought a locker space. Truly counting down the days until I leave this disgusting establishment. The manager's name is Sonia, and she is far from a decent manager. The property manager's name is Andrea, and she's even worse. Need a maintenance request? By your third submission, they should be on the way. Maintenance men are no issue, in fact very thorough and quick, perhaps the nicest thing about this place. Leasing office is truly ran by grown women who act like high-schoolers. God forbid you're passionate and upset about your problem, they'll pretend they never received your voicemail. But once you go into the leasing office physically they act like that had never happened. AVOID this community like the plague. I'm counting down the days until I get to leave this horrible place.

Experience was not a good one anyway you look at it. The staff was unprofessional and unable to assist in an efficient and effective manner. For 6+ months, there was a broken sink in my apartment. Management and staff were unable to successfully coordinate between the necessary repairmen and myself in order for that to be remedied. Additionally, not all charges on move out were assessed in accordance with the lease. Upon my request to speak with someone regarding this, I was ignored. Should you consider moving there, be prepared to (1) be overcharged; (2) not be provided promised living conditions in one form or another; and (3) not have any sort of effective or efficient communication with Bent Tree or Air Communities staff. Bottom line, I would not recommend engaging with Bent Tree Apartments, or with any property its parent company, Air Communities, owns due to their lack of care for their residents. Following up on my customer experience after being directed to Air Communities. The customer service I received throughout this process has again been tangibly distasteful. It is clear that residents are considered a disruption to this company and not a priority. The Air Communities team made a unilateral determination with zero transparency to the customer on how or why they are able to operate not in accordance with the terms and conditions of the lease. Good to see another company free driving into residents' wallets as they please. Also, the posts regarding parking are true. It's a hassle. Residents speed through the parking lots creating i excess risk for pedestrians and children in the area.

We have been living in this complex for about 1,5 months. Even though the leasing office rep who was signing us up and worked with us was very responsive and nice, there were so many issues with everything else. There has not been a week when we wouldn't have to go to leasing office or submit the requests for maintenance. Initially, when we came to check the apartment, there were issues with a lot of things (so it wasn't inspected by their staff). We filled out the inspection sheet but still not everything had been fixed until today, even though we brought it up few times. I guess as long as it's not life-threatening, they don't care about your comfort. It is just an old complex poorly maintained. We were happy that we could lock in the rent for more than a year prior to moving in, but now we wish we could move out...

I WOULD GIVE THIS 0 STARS...Here I am again with another issue this company needs to fix. I drove around 20-25 MINUTES looking for a parking spot in my own community THAT I PAY $15 dollars for EVERY MONTH. For a company that charges this much and doesn't have enough parking spaces to accommodate people getting home late is RIDICULOUS. I had to park in Little Rocky Run and walk 10 minutes just to get home.... Instead of building a stupid fcking dog park why don't you build more parking spaces? I saw at least 10 reserved parking spaces that were empty.... instead of up charging residents for premium parking spots why can't this cheap ass company provide more parking?! Im 100% positive Im not the only one with this issue. I can't wait move out and never step foot in this complex again!!!!

I lived for 2 years, do not move there please, you will stuck with all kind of unjustified and unexplained fees.I left the place in excellent condition and I have photos of every room, wall, cabinets and bathroom I even cleans the edges of, the door handles and now they bill me for cleaning, paint and god knows whatI moved out the first of June and they charged for parking for the month of June and I don't even live there They took my deposit , they sent me 4 different amounts and they even tried to bill me for $5600 for early termination fee although they had a signed copy by me of my move out notice 60 days earlier, they had to adjust it when the found out I have my copyPlease go elsewhere and look for a better place to live, you will regret the day you moved in there and you will count days waiting to move out, they owe hundreds if not thousands plus losing your deposit This place is running a huge scam with their vendors and locker room policy, they will charge $100 a year to have your package deliver to a locker room regardless what size it is. You will have to carry huge boxes and walk with them to your unit in rainy weather and go to third floor with itThey even sent my furniture that got delivered to me to the locker room and I had to drag boxes of furniture to my 3rd floor apartment Please don't make the same mistake I did and sign a lease with these guysI am in the process of taking them to court and finding out I'm not the only one taking legal action against them.This place should be investigated by the BBB, the state attorney general office and take all measures to stop them from taking hardworking people's money just because they think they. An get away with itStay away

I live here for 7 years and the past year has been the worse. I feel that my time there doesn't count as a loyal resident. Parking spot for my sons car is 95 dollars a month!!!! That is absolutely ridiculous and when my husband told the manager that we will have to end up moving at the end of the lease she just said ok you do what it's good for your family. We will move soon! Not staying in a place that don't appreciate residents.
